Becca is disillusioned with love, her parents divorce didn’t help her cause. So she delves into romance novels and their happy endings, because in real life, love never ends well. Until one day, when she finds herself in a “fake relationship” with her high school’s golden boy, Brett. What leads from here, is a fake relationship that realizes that love does end well and that friendships return and blossom when love is real and sincere.

Fans of Sarah Dessen and Deb Colasanti will enjoy this light hearted read. Recommended for grades 9 and up.
